you need to access ftp to edit template files.If you want to download it from Admin back-end then you have to install Akeeba backup
component to download it.

No you don't, you can upload the template `zip file` without using FTP. akeeba backup is a recommended plugin, but it's not relevant to this question. – Nir Alfasi Sep 15 '12 at 06:00

If you want to download the template package you should use FTP
For edit the template in Joomla you can user both Joomla administrator and FTP
.
In Joomla administrator you can only edit HTML(index.php) and CSS file
.
Go to,
Joomla administrator ---> Extensions ---> Template Manager ---> Select your template
In edit page you could see both options in top right side. Please refer this screenshot.
